Test A - May 8th 2008

Subject: D Class ████
Procedure:D Class ████ is infected (by syringe) with SCP 4391 and must report symptoms. And also must be kept in a small cell *
Results:D Class ████ reports himself crying about [DATA EXPUNGED] and an arson crime.**
Analysis:D Class ████ may be suicidal. Feel pretty bad. Except for the Arson

Test B - May 9th 2008

Subject:D Class ████
Procedure:D Class ████ must report symptoms again.
Results:D Class ████ is very unresponsive and has given me very little details. Saw bite marks on his arms and he's bleeding too.
Analysis:D Class ████ is really starting to regret that arson crime he committed. In my opinion the Amygdala is starting to corrupt D Class ████'s memory. But the Amygdala is not connected with the Hippocampus. So does SCP 4391 cause PTSD?

Test C - May 10th 2008

Subject:D Class ████
Procedure:D Class ████ must report symptoms again.
Results:So I found D Class ████ dead with a large head wound and blood on the walls. I asked Dr.████ if he knew something about this since he called me down to ████'s cell and he heard screaming along with banging on the door and wall. This is going to traumatize me for days.
Analysis: SCP 4391 is very serious and pretty terrifying when I think about it. My conclusion is that if any SCP 4391 Foundation Personnel is infected with SCP 4391 must report to the medical office.
